Prepare the Fish: Rub the fish with a pinch of turmeric and salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Cook the Fish: Heat the mustard oil in a pan. Lightly fry the fish for about 2 minutes on each side until slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Make the Curry Base: In the same pan, add a bit more mustard oil if needed. Saute the chopped onions until golden brown.
Add garlic, ginger, and green chili. Saute until the raw smell is gone.
Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, and red chili powder (if using). Cook until tomatoes are softened.
Combine and Simmer: Add water to make a light gravy, bring it to a simmer, and add the fish back into the pan.
Cook for 5-7 minutes on low heat until the fish is tender and cooked through.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired. Serve with a small portion of Rice/brown rice or a whole-grain roti to keep it light.
